Laser Skin Resurfacing & Technology

Remove years from your appearance. No surgery required.

Are you frustrated by wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, or other complexion concerns? If so, you may be able to refine and rejuvenate your skin with Fraxel re:pair treatment at the Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center in Houston.

The Fraxel re:pair laser system was the first system capable of performing what is known as Fractional Deep Dermal Abrasion (FDDA), in which microcolumns of tissue are deep-treated while the majority of the skin is left intact. All in a single treatment – with minimal downtime or discomfort.
